LyicsLife is the time to serve the Lord,
The time t'insure the great reward;
And while the lamp holds out to burn,
O hasten, sinner, to return!
Life is the hour that God has given
To scape from hell and fly to heaven;
The day of grace, when mortals may
Secure the blessings of the day.
Then what my thoughts design to do,
My hands, with all your might pursue;
Since no device nor work is found,
Nor faith, not hope, beneath the ground.
There are no acts of pardon passed
In the cold grave to which we haste;
O may we all receive thy grace,
And see with joy thy smiling face.
